Hello,

Trying to get back into school after many years away. I have to take
an admitance exam which I am currently studying for. Here is a problem
on a sample exam that is stumping me . I belive it is a y intercept
problem Any ideas on how to solve? I am thinking you solve for y but
that didn't seem to work for me.

M and N are the X and Y coordinates, respectively, of a point in a
coordinate plane. If the points (M,N) and (M + P, N +4) both lie on
the line defined by the equation X = y/2 - 2/5, what is the value of
P?

Thanks, Fletch
